Pros

You can learn allot here by self learning, by allot i mean anything you can access with the iPad on the internet as long as all your other work is finished.

Cons

You will not get promoted based on your knowledge but based on time spent in the company. Progressing within the company is very slow and you are much more likely to be hired somewhere else at a higher position.

Pros

* Ahrents is an inspiring communicator * Amazing headquarters * Rich in heritage * Best talent in industry * Great digital presence * Free lunch * Great sample sale discount

Cons

*Ahrents is an inspiring communicator but unfortunately the brand image she portrays & the culture she envisages does not reflect reality * The "business" has a disconnected leadership team surfing on their own self indulgent egotistical wave * Far too many over paid and under worked "vice presidents" * Rewards and Recognition only applicable to "hierarchy" * Limited input allowed without having to speak with "hierarchy" first * Bad email and meeting culture leaving little time to do the job you are employed to do * Very poor work life balance with unachievable deadlines

Pros

people that work there as freelancers

Cons

Most of the managers are managers not because they're good at being managers, but because they've been there the longest. Anyone who had been there for years was allowed to control the narrative to suit them: controlling the hierarchy and making sure that no-one new threatened their power or inner friendship group. Anyone below manager or senior roles are basically treated as minions with no say, and personalities are seen as risky. There's a double standard whereby women treat their male colleagues with total freedom and yet they treat other women badly, observing them as to whether they 'fit in' or not, most of which is decided in mundane conversations in the canteen, payback for their memories of school lunches. It's toxic, not because it's fashion, because it's unrelentingly corporate run by uncreative people with very little life experience outside of its walls, excited at being the big dogs within its walls.
